DESCRIPTION

This helper module creates a TT View module. It goes further than Catalyst::Helper::View::TT in that it additionally creates a simple set of templates to get you started with your web site presentation using Twitter Bootstrap3 from a CDN (Content Delivery Network).

It creates the templates in root/ directory underneath your main project directory. In here two further subdirectories are created: root/src which contains the main page templates, and root/lib containing a library of other template components (header, footer, etc.) that the page templates use.

The view module that the helper creates is automatically configured to locate these templates.

It sets character encoding to utf-8 and it delivers HTML5 pages.

Default Rendering

The configuration template root/lib/config/main is rendered. This is controlled by the PRE_PROCESS configuration variable set in the controller generated by Catalyst::Helper::View::Bootstrap. Additionally, templates referenced by the PROCESS directive will then be rendered.

Next, the template defined by the WRAPPER config variable is called. The default wrapper template is located in root/lib/site/wrapper. The wrapper template passes files with .css/.js/.txt extensions through as text OR processes the templates defined after the WRAPPER directive: site/html and site/layout.

Based on the default value of the WRAPPER directive in root/lib/site/wrapper, the following templates are processed in order:
